North Mississippi All-Stars came into Charlottesville last night and fucking rocked it out. Thats right, they blew the house up. If you missed the show, man, it was sick. The crowd was in synch with the band and everyone fed off of it. Buy the end of the second set nmas was jamming with the intensity of a crazy mississippi coon running for its life, knowing all along that its going to get away. With a full set running the whole time and an encore that lasted over four songs, nmas deserves recognition and applaud for their performance. surely, these north mississippi boys know how to party.

Playing with the Greyboys, Karl Denson left his tiny universe and entered a complete galaxy of sound. The furous saxaphone was joined by the excellent high energy jamming ability of guitar player Elgin Park. Both Zak Najor and Chris Stillwell were in full control of the timing and funky get down on your self dance why don’t ya super beat. A solid performance all around. Smoking didn’t seem as heavy at the venue; I hope due to respect of the fact that Karl has to blow hard man. Sounds intertwine with his full furry and soul coming through that pipe. Respect for the Greyboys. They are Allstars.

Derek came into Charlottesville on Sunday April 2, 2006. There was the usual crowd that was appreciative of his music. Derek is one of the most amazing guitarist that I have ever seen however, I just feel like he needs to rock it out a little more, I mean he is so amazingly precise, go for it man, you can jam and do it. As usual I was running late and caught the second set. A couple of highlights included Joyful Noise with a little Rasta Chant action. To the DTB’s credit they are Derek Truck’s band and thus he can do what he likes. The precision of his notes illustrates the sheer talent that this guy has. As usual, sketchy video in the more link.

I’m sketchy so you don’t have to be. Go see live music.

The Hamiltons were the main act for Friday night following the always funky and talented Man Mountain Jr. With full stage of friends, the Hamiltons where some of the most soulful and true players of a great jazzy blues New Orleans sounding hometown music in Charlottesville. a full array of sounds that really brought some soul to the heart. . I especially enjoyed the saxophone sit in. catch them anytime to have a good time.

Sketchy Videos as usual. Remember folks, I’m sketchy so you don’t have to be, respect the bands. They kick ass. Pay for the music, go see live music!
